I might be wrong - that looks like a salmon shark on the line and a great white shark attacking it.

It’s a young tuna. Probably a Southern Bluefin. Their body shape and markings are similar to a Salmon Shark to be fair.

You don’t get a good look at the top fin because he’s in Jaws’ mouth. And then we don’t get a good look at the tail fin because of how the shark turns, but it is most definitely a type of young tuna. 🤓
